A student researching technology has taken notes:
• Quantum computers use quantum mechanical principles • They could solve problems impossible for classical computers • Quantum encryption could be unbreakable • Current quantum computers are extremely fragile • Practical quantum applications are likely years away
The student wants to present the current state of quantum computing.
Quantum computers operate using quantum mechanical principles.
Quantum computing holds promise for solving impossible problems and unbreakable encryption, but current systems remain extremely fragile—practical applications are likely years away.
Quantum encryption systems could theoretically be unbreakable.
Practical quantum computer applications are likely still years away.
Correct Answer: B
Choice B. Promise (problems, encryption) but fragility and timeline shows current state.
